I have never lost even a micro second of trust in Bitcoin. Experienced Bitcoiners trust in Bitcoin more than anything else as in technology.

Bitcoin receives all the blame for what happens to exchanges and services, which is a shame. Educating people about Bitcoin can definitely solve this.

I certainly don't like it. Bitcointalk must be and stay open for people who are genuinely interested in Bitcoin.

As sukamasoto mentioned, it would be better to ip ban scammers instead of allowing them to make new accounts and continue to scam people over and over again.

I still think it will test the $200 level before advancing to higher levels. Sell pressure is too heavy, this tiny movement to $225 won't do much.

Nice to see Bitcoin gets taken serious instead of countries and companies trying to prevent people from using it.

I hope they put their plans to action and not end up in just being a plan. With the right people on board it must work out well.

Perhaps a pool that for some reason had power issues and it's hardware was turned off, or a pool simply decided to turn off their harware due to low price.

That might have caused the difficulty to drop quite a bit. It's very annoying but you can't do anything beside waiting.

$3B is very undervalued IMO, bitcoin and it's blockchain technology are a game changer in the financial and decentralised field of techonlogy. I think that the bitcoin marketcap should be at $50 billion which is more reasonable IMO.

You think a $50 billion market cap is reasonable? How so?

I think you are not realistic and expect too much from Bitcoin in current form. This year was horrible for Bitcoin which is reflected in the price.
10928  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [04-14-2015] Students Can Get Rid Of Debts With An Interesting Program Proposed on: April 15, 2015, 12:19:30 PM
Throughout the years there have been so many attempts to make sure students debt will decrease, and all of them have failed.

Reading that article it gives me the impression that they only look at the benefits, and for some reason don't see the downside of it.
10929  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the Blockchain Endure if Bitcoin goes Bust? on: April 15, 2015, 12:11:28 PM
Even if it dies, the blockchain technology is something we will see in the future as banks and other financials know that they will need to implement something like this to bring the financial system to the next level.

As others already said, some enthusiasts will continue to keep the blockchain alive, but the only question is for how long. At some even they will stop with mining.
10930  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you bullish or bearish right now? on: April 15, 2015, 12:03:10 PM
With current prices I am quite bullish. Which I also voted for. If you look at the long term picture, how can you not be bullish?
10931  Economy / Speculation / Re: Good time to invest in btc? on: April 15, 2015, 12:00:25 PM
Some times people tend to wait too long for the right price and lose out on the opportunity of buying at what looks like the bottom.

...

Doing effort to claim back a certain percentage of your donation is nonsense. Donate in full, or don't.


Not sure what you mean by that. If you meant claiming the tax back - it has nothing to do with claiming % of donations back. You claim back the tax that you've already paid on your income (as charity donations are tax-free).

There's also thing called gift-aid (in UK), which allows you to donate the tax (you could claim back) to charity. So effectively for £1 donated, charity would get £1.25. But again, the charity would need your details + 'gift aid declaration' for that.

I thought people could claim back some of their donated money, which in my view is nonsense. After reading that I can understand why they want your details. Thanks for clearing that up.

Current market cap might seem low to certain people, but it's not. Demand have been decreasing quite a bit last few months/weeks.

But all that is just temporary, demand will go back to more healthy levels once we get the halving to happen in 2016.

There are just not enough takers at the moment as there is barely fresh fiat being pumped in Bitcion lately.
10935  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin is a ponzi game on: April 14, 2015, 02:49:16 PM
With the price going lower and lower I was waiting for a thread like this to pop up. It took a while, but finally it's here  Cheesy

Today Bitcoin is a ponzi, tomorrow it's dead, and the day after that it's wonderful, and another day after that it's pure shit again.
10936  Economy / Speculation / Re: Support did not hold... But don't panic. on: April 14, 2015, 02:44:49 PM
I'm feeling so bad now. I checked the price is $219 and now it is going to decrease even more.  Cry Fortunately, I have only $6.5 worth bitcoins else it would be a huge loss for me. I'm about to panic now.

No reason for panic. I still hold some coins that I bought at nearly $500 in 2014. I don't see it as a loss, unless I decide to sell.

I am happy to buy extra coins at current price. What some see as bad can be a very good opportunity for others  Smiley
10937  Economy / Speculation / Re: A bet on: April 14, 2015, 02:39:13 PM
Of course we won't see single digits. Time frame doesn't matter. Even bears know that, their only purpose is trying to make Bitcoin look bad.

10939  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-04-12] WSJ: Charities Seek Donations in Bitcoin on: April 13, 2015, 02:36:11 PM
What I mostly don't like about charities/sites that accept Bitcoin donations is that you need to fill in so many details just to give a few bucks worth of coins.

I understand that there are certain rules that they operate under, but instead of asking for so many details, allow people to donate privately.

There are 2 reasons for that. First, as you mentioned - regulations, 2nd - submitting your info + email allow them to send you a receipt, which you can use to get tax deduction.

If you don't want to provide your personal detail, just put the fake name etc.



They could also just have an extra option for people who like to donate in a fully private manner without the need to insert fake info.

Doing effort to claim back a certain percentage of your donation is nonsense. Donate in full, or don't.
10940  Economy / Speculation / Re: the lack of volitility is worrying on: April 13, 2015, 02:02:01 PM
Bitcoin market cap is very low, which gives people with deep bags much joy in making weak hands sell their coins.

At this point there is no reason for volatility. No good or bad news. Just enjoy the calmth for as long as you can.
